war or peace?
War or peace?
Its your choice
Your faults I shall oversee
As you keep telling your lies
Sorry, thank you, please
Those courtesies seem so nice
But I'm not appeased
Till I see the truth flicker in your eyes
Look at the birds and bees
And their hopeful flights
They need no wings of identity
To fly freely in the skies
So do stop sowing bitter seeds
If you want your trees to rise high
If love is really what the world needs
Then lets start planting it in the soil.
Lets together watch the flowers bloom
Let them spread and take up all the room
Leaving behind no space for our facades
But just space enough for beating hearts
Because it always feels better to be lost together
In an endless field of fragrance
Rather than being part of a crazy mob
Spitefully thirsting for vengeance.
War or peace?
Its your choice
If it makes sense to you then all's right
If not then
You do your job and I do mine.

Love is when you agree to disagree to such a torturous degree that the torturer becomes the apothecary.

We install a firewall of self respect around ourselves
as protection against the malware of this world.
But how come this firewall is repeatedly
breached and infected by the virus of love?
That's when it starts hitting you,
The absurdity of this disappointment.
The disappointment when love transforms
From an exhilarating feeling or an emotional noun
Into an arduously ascending verb
like two mountaineers climbing a steep summit
While tied together by a common rope.
Not dying without the other,
Not feeling alive till they kill the other a little
with every heavy breath and escaping sigh
Taking few paces forward
and then slipping back
Two fragile snails slithering hand in hand
Though when the grasping fingers slip
The rope is there to hold them back
As an anchor at times
Or leave them hanging
As a punishment at others.
Self respect seems like a black and white domain
Stretching between silence and explanations
Until you look around and and see the grey mountainous terrain
You are tired, hurt, agonized and in pain
But the summit waits
Where the sun that rises also sets
And you try your best
To conquer a zenith which you aren't even sure exists.
You love in strange ways
Creating barriers for your self
And then seek the help of another barricaded soul
To break those barriers down.

Oh Adam and Eve
Tell me please.
How did the first apple of sin taste?
Was it sweet and supple as skin
Or did it make your egos bloated?
Was it bitter like medicine
That healed but left its side effects
Or was it a craving to escape routine
And discover some brand new pathways?
Was the serpent really to blame
When he served today's special sans a plate?
Or was it just a casual date
Inside God's divine restaurant?
But wait.You were born naked.
Then how could you two boast of such refined tastes?
Only if you had stayed away from your lusty ways
The hard grounds wouldn't have become your beds.
Buts what's done is now done
Adam and Eve
After you have had a bite of the snack
Now all that you two can do is believe
In love to finally find its way back.

- _luvnotz_outpost This unique take on the challenge that you've conjured up for us is brimming with delirious darkness and macabre machinations!! There's also an air of intrigue and much to ponder as a result of your superbly penned, poetic prose! A spine tingling submission! Thank you for participating. ✍
- absynth @atticoftheheart thank you for the constant appreciation. ♥
- absynth @a_gentilischi thanks and i thought that it was just dark and crazy.
- absynth @_luvnotz_outpost thank you for your intricate observations as always. The inspiration was our last conversation about the paradox if you remember. You throw challenges and you become the muse :)
- _luvnotz_outpost Yes, I do recall that indeed; and I thought perhaps that's what you had in mind with this piece. I'm also very amused to know that I was the muse.

Cloudburst
Once in a corner
Sat a weary loner
Getting high on smoke and liquor,
Watching forgotten memories
Ressurect from the dead,
Floating like bubbles over his head
Rising and rising
Till they kissed the ceiling and went Pop!
Down came a rain of invisible rubble
Burying the loner beneath her
But he wasn't hurt
Just turned numb
Until he took a deep drag
And puffed out a cloud of hope.

star(k) contrasts
Are those glittery stars an infinte field of scintillating flowers
blooming in the celestial rosarium of the skies?
Well, there are endless possibilities of them being something else
but I chose this one because
That's one of the dimensions of accessible beauty to my ordinary senses
Where I bridge this aeonian gap
with the faint glow of my renegade imagination
Where the onus lies on my own nature
Whether to scoff at it as a lapse of creation
Or glorify it as the womb of my origin.
Ok. I will subdue the skeptic for a while
And genuflect on the bounties that nature provides
As homage to the great sacrifice of the skies
Which keeps slaughtering a star now and then
To fulfill the gluttonous wishes of us humans.
Being offsprings of the soil and caricatures of clay
Doesn't leave us with much options
other than to see a miracle in the sights of destruction
And establish an exaggerated connection with the
Inevitable universal laws.
But stars aren't concerned about divinity or reality
They are neutral entities who just want to be
As they are
Untouched and far away from the miniscular nature of human possession
Leaving their blood spatters everywhere on the skin of the slaughterhouse skies
Which human beings perceive as eternal light,
The stars sometimes rebel too against their butcher
As black holes in space
Or supernova explosions
But the only reason we humans find this destruction beautiful is because we are incapable of destroying ourselves to such great extents and levels.
We are just star gazers in love
All trying to exist under the same roof of glitters.

What does home mean to a sojourner
Except a cliche enclosed misnomer
Which bursts like a bubble when touched
As the walls disappear and the roof opens up.
Though the wanderlust flowing in his veins
Is as ancient as stardust
still the only phosphorescence known to him
Is the muddy scarlet of blood.
He stays on the road and only prefers inns
To spend the weary nights alone
Because he knows he carries this curse
In his knapsack
Which can wreck any home
Whose front door bears the name plate
of his namesake,
Can fade away the shine of all interior decor
And flake away all the plasters and paints.
He prefers heart sized suites
And mind sized balconies,
A room service of curiosities
Served on the trolley of melancholy eyes,
The balm of placebo skin to embalm him for a while
So that his calloused hands and blistered feet
Can heal in the shadows of a forever dream.
Did he lose the map to guide him home
And now pines for direction from the stars and moon?
Or did he drop his identity tag somewhere along the road
And now searches for its pieces in the dirt?
Is that a vulnerability he fears to expose
Or has he walked towards the horizon for too long
Staring at the setting sun till the colors of hope and the color of his eyeballs became one?
Perhaps the travails of this sojourn
Have taught him to be wise beyond his years, fears and words
But what is wisdom when the lines between joy and sorrow are finally blurred?

- absynth @bhawna_the_author thanks a lot. I'm grateful for that gracious comment.♥
- absynth @sangfroid_soul thank you again and again. Its a great feeling when someone genuinely connects to one's writeups like you do. ♥

_luvnotz_outpost
You're very welcome; and I'm glad that the challenge afforded you the opportunity to convey some long held sentiments. That's always such a freeing feeling!
Regarding the empathy, I think that there are folks out there who have the ability to feel empathetic towards others, but they may not know how to express it. Not sure whether that applies to you, but thought I'd mention.
As to the erotic piece that you decided to forego, it's probably all for the best because I have some underage youngsters as followers and participants, so I try to keep the challenges as family friendly as possible.
With that said, I do respect and appreciate the erotica genre, as well as all others. ✍
Anyway, before this goes from a short story to a novel, I'll wrap things up by offering my hearty congratulations on the Writers Network repost!! Well deserved! - fromwitchpen You are most welcome dear

Dear life
I'm stuck with you
Ever since the day I opened my eyes
Into this illusionary world
that you manifested for me to behold
But you never told me
Where to look for the rose colored glasses
And I was stuck with plain sight
Which sees even the brightest rose
Wither and die.
Dear life
I'm stuck with you in a relationship
Where you are neither my partner with whom I can part ways
Nor a contractual wife whom I can divorce
You are the hide and seek
Of shadows and lights
And the dark paramour of mischief between grey zones
Cooking up a stew with my skin, blood and bones
Nudging me to pour in this bubbling cauldron
The magic of my heart and soul
And stir up the potent brew of an immortal potion.
Dear life
I still call you dear
For hating you means hating myself
As the poison spreads to both hemispheres.
To play the blame game would be foolish and immature
Lets not end up being mediocre
Though I hear people say that you have a lot to offer
Beg your pardon but I beg to differ
Not my fault if I can see the real picture
Of a rose wilting away under the sizzling sun
Kissed to death by the wet lips of frost
I know that it shall bloom again
But will it ever be the same I doubt.

- lovenotes_from_carolyn And if only dragons were a part of the zodiac, I'd have figured out a way to be born under that sign. It's alright though, I suppose. I do love lions too. A bit of trivia here: my birthday actually falls on World Lion Day. I was rather happy when I stumbled upon that discovery!

@lovenotes_from_carolyn thats some beautiful trivia. May your tribe increase is perhaps what I'm supposed to say here.
Btw whats your Chinese Zodiac? did you miss out on the dragon there too? - lovenotes_from_carolyn Thank you! And regarding my Chinese zodiac sign, it's another big cat. I was born in the year of the tiger.

Do forgive people who hurt you
But never forget their face
Not everybody changes when you tell them to
All you can do is not repeat the same mistake.
Those who stay are far and few
Many are those who give heart breaks
If love is really what you are into
Then please start with self love for heaven's sake.
But that doesn't mean you turn bitter too
Towards all those who cannot mend their ways
They are all trying as hard as you
They too have a flawed past to obliterate.
Let everyday teach you something new
Break free from all preconceived formats and templates
Life is not a walk-in interview
You can choose to answer at your own pace.
You are just another human with a point of view
Not necessary that others may think the same
Love needs only love in lieu
But you are always free to exchange it for hate.

- lovenotes_from_carolyn Perhaps, although admins probably aren't supposed to be comical. See, it's because my German side is a no-show. No ability to be serious.

Repair by Shy Flores
When the night leaves me behind,
To spend some time inside my mind,
All of the parts that need repair,
Are brushed aside until I care.
I used to know where this road ends,
I used to have alot of friends,
I used to love until my heart was full,
I used to have some self control.
Before I knew how it felt to choose,
Before I knew how it felt to lose,
I used to have my ducks in a row,
I lost myself a long time ago.
I wish I knew what I know now,
To spare myself the pain somehow,
I wish I knew the reasons why,
My demons keep me up at night.
Time will keep on passing by,
The past will haunt me till I die,
I will be here wasting away,
Dreaming of a better day.

Somebody by Shy Flores
Today I had an awful day,
Nothing seemed to go my way,
I carry on the best I can,
the pain is bigger than I am.
I hate that I dont have a voice,
I hate that I dont have a choice,
Everything is going wrong,
And it keeps going on and on...
I tried to find the good in me,
But I don't want the world to see,
That I am weak and I am sad,
And Every day is getting bad...
I put a smile on my face,
I don't want to lose my place,
I dont want the world to know,
That Im so close to letting go...
I Dont want to feel anymore,
Never felt this way before,
I used to be somebody who,
Used to mean something to you....

Blues by Shy Flores
As Days go by; the years will die, And I will always wonder why, All the pills and all the booze, Couldn't numb away the blues...
I hope you know that i am stuck, You have always been enough, But I'm another reason why, You keep losing sleep at night...
I cant help but mess things up, I will never be enough, I'm the reason why you cry, Im the reason that you lie...
I'm so sorry for your heart, Im always tearing it apart, Always know that I am true,
To spend my life with you...
Drown myself in all the pain, Leaving such a chilling stain, Love is blind; and love is dead,
Your the voice inside my head...
So if I have myself a drink, I dont want to feel or think, Searching for a buzz to love,
The kind I'm always dreaming of...
I dont want her heart to break, i wont make the same mistake, so Take away the blues I feel, And Help us find a way to heal...
